After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

Jiang Ci'an knew that Yi Lan was going back to the Ning family, so he hurried back from the military camp.

"Yilan, have you thought it through?" Jiang Ci'an asked as he entered the room.

Yi Lan nodded.

She figured it out. Since she had parents who loved her so much, why should she refuse?

From now on, she has a lover and a family, and she will be very happy.

Jiang Ci'an felt relieved to see that she had made up her mind.

From now on, there will be one more family to love Yilan, and Yilan deserves the best love.

In the afternoon, Jiang Ci'an accompanied Yi Lan back to Ning Mansion.

Yi Lan has no memory of anything before the age of two.

However, she was still deeply touched when she saw the spotless boudoir.

This room is obviously cleaned all year round and is very tidy and tidy.

Yi Lan's hands brushed across every corner of the room, quietly feeling the Ning family's intentions.

Censor Ning and Madam Ning naturally treated their daughter's rare visit home very seriously.

Hearing from Jiang Ci'an that Yi Lan and he were in love, he felt deeply moved.

The Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion is a good family worthy of your support.

The two had dinner at the Ning Mansion and left. Before leaving, Mrs. Ning prepared a lot of things for Yi Lan.

"I don't know what you like to eat, so I prepared a little more." Madam Ning ordered people to move the things onto the carriage one by one.

Yi Lan was very touched when she saw the back of the carriage was packed full.

"Lanlan, come back whenever you want. Daddy and mommy will visit you often." Censor Ning said.

He believed that one day his daughter would truly accept them from the bottom of her heart.

Yi Lan nodded, and the two of them said goodbye to the two elders of the Ning family and got on the carriage back home.

-

Late at night, East Palace.

Eunuch Wu carefully brought a bowl of calming soup to the bedroom.

The entire East Palace has been extremely depressing in recent days. The palace servants dare not speak loudly, and even sweep the floor quietly, for fear of upsetting His Highness.

Eunuch Wu walked into the hall, placed the tranquilizing soup on the table, and began to advise:

"Your Highness, it's getting late. Go to bed early."

Xiao Yujing looked at the memorial in his hand and said "hmm" without raising his head.

Seeing this, Eunuch Wu sighed silently in his heart and stepped aside to wait.

His Highness has become more diligent recently, often reviewing memorials all night long.

Ever since the day Princess Leping came of age, His Highness has returned with a gloomy face and an aura that says "keep away from strangers". Even today, there has been no improvement in his attitude, and no one in the entire Eastern Palace dares to breathe.

Although His Highness used to be quiet and cold, he was quite gentle towards the people around him. Especially after returning from Jiangnan, he seemed to have become more humane.

But now, His Highness is like an emotionless puppet. Apart from sleeping, he spends the whole day reviewing memorials. He doesn't even read the books he usually likes to read.

I also suffer from insomnia every night and have to rely on calming soup to fall asleep.

This has never happened before.

Eunuch Wu was heartbroken.

Your Highness, what happened?

Xiao Yujing looked at the memorial in front of him and his eyes became sore.

Days of insomnia and high-intensity work gave him a splitting headache.

He raised his hand to his forehead, closed his eyes, and rubbed his temple.

The image of Jiang Ruoli standing under the tree that day appeared in my mind again.

"Because we are friends..."

friend......

He worked so hard for so long, but in the end they were just friends?

A strong feeling of irritation surged in his heart again. Xiao Yujing suddenly opened his eyes and threw all the memorials on the table to the ground.

The crackling sound suddenly rang out in the silent hall, and it was particularly harsh.

Eunuch Wu fell to his knees in fear.

"Your Highness, calm down..."

Xiao Yujing's face was icy, and he spoke coldly:

"roll."

Eunuch Wu was so frightened that his face turned pale and he retreated tumbling out.

He was the only one left in the hall.

Xiao Yujing leaned back dejectedly in the armchair.

He looked at the beams above, his eyes empty.

Whenever he closed his eyes these days, his mind was completely occupied by Jiang Ruoli that day.

He was angry and aggrieved, but there was nothing he could do.

He wanted to find her again and ask her whether what she said that day was what she really thought.

But he dared not.

He was afraid that she would say yes, afraid that she would say something that would hurt him even more.

His heart was gripped with a knot and Xiao Yujing found it difficult to breathe.

He slightly opened his lips and breathed in, trying to relieve the depression in his heart.

At this moment, he was like a drowning man, sinking in the freezing cold sea water, unable to break free.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Yujing raised his hands and covered his eyes.

A bitter smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

Forget it, since I can't force her, just let her be.

He collected his thoughts and called Eunuch Wu in.

Eunuch Wu hurried in and picked up the scattered memorials on the ground.

After finishing cleaning up, Xiao Yujing picked up another memorial and started reading it.

Eunuch Wu seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.

He wanted to persuade the prince to go down and have a rest, but seeing his cold expression that kept people at a distance, he didn't know how to start.

At this time, Burch came into the hall quietly.

"Your Highness, the He family has taken action."

Xiao Yujing looked up at him.

His eyes were colder than ever, and Burch couldn't help but shudder.

"Your Highness, Mr. He has already left his hometown and will probably arrive in Kyoto the day after tomorrow."

"Snapped!"

Xiao Yujing closed the memorial in his hand and narrowed his eyes slightly.

He Zongsheng, the old fox, finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Zhenguogongfu.

Jiang Ruoli lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

She had been having dreams these days. In her dreams, Xiao Yujing looked at her with resentment and a sad and mournful expression.

She was startled awake several times.

After waking up, she couldn't help but think angrily, could it be that Xiao Yujing had cursed her?

But those aggrieved and hurt eyes kept lingering in her mind.

Jiang Ruoli sighed and closed her eyes resignedly.

Early the next morning, Jiang Ruoli heard some noise outside while she was drowsy.

She opened her eyes, forced herself to be more awake, and called out:

"Fuguo!"

After a while, Fuguo heard the sound and ran in.

"Miss, you are awake."

Jiang Ruoli patted her head which still felt a little painful.

"What's so noisy outside?"

Fuguo was delighted. "Today is Mid-Autumn Festival. Madam sent someone to call us servants to the front yard to receive our rewards!"

Jiang Ruoli paused.

Oh yes, she was in a bad mood these days and she even forgot about the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Ok?

Mid-Autumn Festival?

Jiang Ruoli vaguely remembered that her mother seemed to have told her yesterday that she would go to the palace to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet tonight?

Doesn't that mean we have to meet Xiao Yujing?

The two of them just parted ways unhappily a few days ago. I wonder if it would be awkward if we met today...

She suddenly remembered that Xiao Yujing was the villain in the original book, the kind who killed people without blinking an eye!

How could she have offended him!

Jiang Ruoli bit her lip and tugged at the quilt in annoyance.

But on second thought, Xiao Yujing is a gifted child of heaven, and he probably doesn't have the time to deal with a little loser like her. Maybe he has already forgotten what happened that day.

Then I shouldn't bother with her...right?
